Here is my sample data

```
{
          "geo_type" : "GPS_LOCATION",
          "happenon" : 1544439593,
          "country" : "IND",
          "idapp" : "81",
}

```

my template is

```
{
   "index_patterns": [
     "index*"
   ],
   "settings": {
     "index": {
       "number_of_shards": "2",
       "number_of_replicas": "1"
     }
   },
   "mappings": {
     "ping": {
       "dynamic": "false",
       "properties": {
          "happenon": {
           "type": "date",
           "format": "epoch_second"
         }        
       }
     }
   },
   "aliases": {}
}

```

I want to run a query for **geo\_type** field. Right now i geeting this

```
{
  "took": 0,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 2,
    "successful": 2,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 0,
    "max_score": null,
    "hits": []
  }
}

```

Thanks @inandi

You need to index it. With your `dynamic:false` setting you effectively asked to ignore the geo\_type and other fields [when it comes to indexing.](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic.html)
